Not sure if I'm doing something wrong or not. I'm finally testing out my PiDP-11 hooked up to my 5150. I get a message saying it's connected to the emulator, as 2.11 BSD starts to boot. By it's side, I have a ThinkPad 755C with the same message. When UNIX finally finishes booting, only the ThinkPad gets a login prompt. I'm not getting the same on the 5150. I've tried Procomm, Telix and Kermit, and they all act the same. Even switch from an AST MegaPlus II to a Six Pack Plus and it exhibits the same behavior.

I'm wondering if there's something I'm doing wrong. When I connect the two computers together with a null modem cable, I can type characters that show up on the other computer.
